Wadham in 1618 As King James attempted to involve fellow Scots in Oxford colleges, Wadham stood firm.

1618 was an unhappy year for us. It saw the deaths in May of our revered Foundress and in July that of our first Visitor, Bishop Montagu. Then in October, we fell out with the king. James was king of England and of In 1609 King Scotland, a century before the Act of Union created a combined kingdom, James had and the importation of Scots culture that he sought to promote was not threatened a apparently universally welcomed. We are told1 that when James came to the Visitation to throne, the statutes of Oxford and Cambridge colleges contained clauses revoke what restricting elections to Scholarships, Fellowships and Heads of House to he considered those born in England and Wales. Even restricting Scholarships might do the hostile trick if, as was normal, Fellows could only be elected from amongst Scholars, college and Heads from amongst Fellows. Colleges were apparently not happy to statutes change this culture and in 1609 James had threatened a Visitation to revoke what he considered hostile college statutes and to get some Scots onto the Foundations. In 1612, the 1596 statutes of Sidney Sussex, Cambridge, were modified to let in some2 Scots and Irish, and the King turned his attention to Wadham’s new statutes. These, made early in the new reign, had originally conformed to a traditional restrictive election formulation. Dorothy’s original plans for Scholars provided for reserved scholarships from Somerset and Essex with the rest coming from the ‘other counties’, and our initially submitted statutes had contained similar phrases, including a restriction to the kingdom of England. This had presumably included Wales.3 But under royal insistence, the Authorised (Latin) Version ultimately stipulated that they should come from the kingdom of Great Britain.4 But the king’s desire to promote the subjects of his nation of origin was not

Bowra and Lewis were of the generation of young dons who had served in the final years of World War One; both were born in 1898, both took double firsts in classics and were just eight years older than Betjeman. Of Betjeman, Bowra is recorded, in conversation with Lord Birkenhead, as having stated: “Betjeman has a mind of extraordinary originality; there is no BETJEMAN AND BOWRA one else remotely like him.” Betjeman was wont to blame Lewis for his failure to take a degree but in Maurice Bowra, former Warden of Wadham College, contrast the influence of Bowra and the lifelong friendships he made through Examples Bowra’s company had a lasting effect on him and undoubtedly contributed of the lively became a close friend of the poet John Betjeman. correspondence to his subsequent successes as a poet, writer, broadcaster and campaigner. between Betjeman Betjeman and Bowra’s friendship continued until the latter’s death.

John Betjeman arrived at Magdalen College, Oxford in 1925 from Marlborough College where, as he made very clear in his verse autobiography Summoned By Bells, which covers his earliest memories until shortly after leaving Oxford, he had not been happy (in contrast he records his happiness while at the Dragon School previously). He writes of his arrival at Magdalen: Privacy after years of public school; Dignity after years of none at all – First college rooms, a kingdom of my own: What words of mine can tell my gratitude?

July 1971 Betjeman was much affected by Bowra’s death in July 1971. It certainly caused him to reflect on his own mortality and it had come just a few weeks before his 65th birthday. To Penelope, who was in India at the time, he wrote “Maurice’s death will leave Oxford empty and sad for hundreds of us”. He described the funeral in a letter to Kenneth and Jane Clark: “We walked in burning heat to Wadham Chapel and there was the coffin in the full chapel and on it pink sprays of flowers.” He describes walking round to Holywell Cemetery for the interment in “sweltering heat”.

She then married John Wadham, an important local Somerset official and JP, who had been born at Edge in 1505 (he lived until 1578), but who lived at Merifield near Ilton.

Obituaries He became an increasingly key figure in the teaching of the subject nationally, eager to promote reforms. He taught at the annual Greek summer school of the Joint Association of Classical Teachers virtually every year from 1970 till 2017, often acting as Director. This was central to ‘The Cause’, his expression for the promotion of classical study as widely as possible, something he continued to work for after arriving in Wadham in 1996, when he was appointed to the Faculty’s Grocyn Lecturership, organising and delivering the teaching of Greek and Latin, especially to those taking beginners’ courses. Wadham was not an obvious home for a long-term teacher in a Public School, but the College was committed to expanding the range of students taking Classics, and James was an immediate success, his humanity and knowledgeable engagement with literature and music winning over the most doubtful of colleagues. He could quickly find rapport with students too: at the Wadham Classics Summer School last August one sixth-former emerged from her half-hour tutorial saying ‘I’ve just discovered my new favourite person!’ Though he retired from the Grocyn position in 2003, he continued as a Fellow of Wadham for another three years, serving as Dean and Steward of Common Room. He was consummately suited to both roles, convivial and wise, stern with those who treated others badly, but willing to be indulgent with those who made a mistake.
